We observe, with much aStOnishment,
that the name of our honOred friend and
Old-time Jacksonian Democrat, General
BUSHRon PRICE, is not attached to the call
for a caucus. Will our representative ut
Charleston please interview the Senator for
his reasons. Already the Democrats OF
Wetzel, Marshall and Marion are asking
the REGISTER why he has not signed the
call, and alas We only hear rumOr as
to the reason which we would feign disbe-
heye. Because We cannot think so small a
personal matter would so warp the Gener-
ais better judgement and make him recre-

MILLIONS IN IT FOR WEST NIR-
GINA


The more the farmers aud business men
of our State think of Senator CAMDEN :
amendment to the Interstate Commerce
bill, the more important does it seem to
them.
The people OF West Virginia export
grain, lumber and live stock in great
quantities. But by the railroad discrimi-
nation that has for years been in vogue, our
State lost all the advantages OF its nearneSS
TO the SeacOast cities, and HIS been placed
west, away beyond the rich prairics OF
many of the Western States. Millions of
acres in the West have come into the pos
session of the cattle barOnS, large portion
of whom are foreigners. They can raise
cattle on these prairies for almost nothing.
Yet railroad discrimination HIS brought
them nearer Baltimore than the cattlemen
of the South Branch and Potomac valleys
of our State
But when this bill ~ amended goes in
to operation, our State will be allowed to
share the advantages to which it is emit
tied. The profits OF our farmers and stock
raiSers will no longer be taken by the rail-
roads in order that shippers of the far West
may have cheap rates. The result, OF
course, will be that the farmers OF the
South Branch and Potomac valleys will
get better prices for their wheat; the stock
raiscrS of Lewis, Harrison, Greenbrier and
BraNton will make greater profits on their
cattle; the wool growers and manuLac-
turerS of the Ohio Valley csIn secure better
prices for their products; and the lumber
men of Tucker, Preston, Taylor and Bar
bour can secure more for their lumber, as
the railroads can no longer eat up the
profits.
There il no measure that Senator CAM
DEN could have introduced that would
have done our people more good than this
amendment to the CULLOM bill. 1t means
millions of dollars in thepeOple's pockets,
and great impetus given 10 the develop
ment of the State.

WHY DO DEMOCRATS HESITATE
TO CAUCUS?

WHY DO DEMOCRATS HESITATE
TO CAUCUS?
The call fbr q Democratic caucus at
Charleston contained the names of thirty
seven of the fifty Democratic members of
the Legislature. In looking over the names
of the thirteen members who have refused
to take part in the caucus, some interest
ing questions will rise in the minds of the
Democrats throughout the State.
Of the thirteen members but two come
from the First Congressional District,
Senator BUSH W. PRICE, of Marshall, and
Delegate PEYTON BYRNE, of BraXtOn. As
every one of Mr.. PRICES DemOcatic col
leagues from this district, except Mr..
BYRNE, agreed to submit TO what the ma
iority consider best for e party and the
State the question will be asked Why Mr..
PRICE persists in standing out against the
caucus. Isit in accord with the wishes Of
his constituents in the several counties:
Did the Democrats Ofthe Second Senatorial
District, in voting for him, do 50 with the
understanding that he should, contrary to
the uSages of his party, remain out of eau
Gus and give the Republicans an adVan-
tage that may secure Democratic defeat in
ISIS?
What motive Mr.. BYRNE had for refuS-
ing to Join his colleagues in caucus we are
unable TO see. We have not heard that he
has been strongly urging the claims of any
man for the L. ;. Senate. Aud even if he
had an especial choice, We would think
that his Democracy, that has always been
SD true, would make him willing to submit
his preferences to q majority Of the repre-
sentatiyes of the Democracy of the State.
We believe Mr.. BYRNE is sincere in his
motives. But his motives certainly mislead
him.
OF all the Democratic members in the
Third Congressional District, but three re-
fused to sign the call for a caucus-Del-
epates SYDENSTRICHER, and MCCLUNG, of
Greenbrier, and CHAMBERS, of Lincoln.
MI. CHA MBEEsS WIS tiCNSSN - an iAAS-
pendent and OF course it was not expected
to be obligatory upon him to 90 into eau
Gus. Thus there are in reality but two of
all the Democratic members of the Third
District that refuse to submit to the decis-
ion of the overwhelming majority in their
party. We can't understand it. We GER
tainly believe that they will see their mis-
take and make haste to rectify it by falling
in line against the enemy.
In the Fourth Congressional District
but a single man refused to 90 with his
party eolleagues-Senator SwITzER, of
Putnam. This is very surprising, since
Mr.. SwITzER's record has always been
that of consistent and Staunch Democrat.
We feel confident that ut this time, when
our party is threatened with its greatest
dangers from the enemy, be will not de-
spise the usages thai have been the safe

Device OF Cruel but Ingenious Bar
keeper to Attract Custom.
In saloon on frankfort avenue reports;
saw, the other day, two turkeys dancing to
the strains Of an orguinette 1t was q strangt
SIGHT to see the ungainly birds bobbing up anC
down, first on one foot, then on the other.
then up with both feet circling and wheeline
around each other, chasseing and changiny
sides, keeping perfect time with an orguinette
turned by the hand Of the barkeeper.
All the onlookers were mystihed, while th
barkeeper grinned and raked in the nicke:,
which were paid over the bar by the amused
crowd.
Though the turkeys apparently kept TIM
to the music, the reporter noticed that the,
danced ON when the music stopped, raising
drst one foot and then the other and as thel
warmed TO their work their steps grew faster
and faster, the musician raising his speed to
keep up with the jumping birds. The tur-
keys, while going through their performance,
were confined in a wire cage at the end of the
bar. The cage was about three feet souare
and hve feet high, and the floor Of the cage
was thin sheet iron
The reporter, after the crowd went ont in
vestigated the dancing turkeys and discoy-
cred the method by which they were taught
or rather compelled-to move. He found
that the plan was ingenious, though cruel.
They were made to dance by means of fire.
Underneath the sheet iron cage floor there
was a shelf set, leaving space of about
three inches, into which was fitted an iron
slide. When the man wanted the turkeys to
lance he would quietly get shovel of live
Goals from the kitchen stove, distribute them
over the iron slide and slip it into place un-
Ter the sheet iron cage floor, and in five min
utes the turkey fandango would be in full
blast First one foot would be raised. then
The other, and so on, the pace quickening as
the heat increased, until the birds would BE-
2oing as fast as they could lift their feet. and
hey would keep it up until the floor would
col of again.
They know what's coming now a. soon as
begin to fool with the slide,n said the bar
Keeper, "aAd they begin to dance without
waiting for the floor to be heated. It's q
GOOD card for the place while it lasts, but |

A Mans Growls About Woman.

In no place or country on earth are women
more vain than in the United States, and it
is wonder that it is so, considering how uni
verssl schooling is in the country. Take the
matter Of fashion plates and two questions
arise-why cannot an artist draw a woman
true to naturel He never does-and why is q
woman so silly as to think she Is anything

photographer and has a full length photo
aiken, the first thing she will notice is that
her feet look so big. The reason is that the
photo does not flatter. IL woman standing

average height, wears a No. 3shoe, she thinks
her feet awful cunning, while No. 3 means q

the foot is one-seventh Of the height, and il
you will measure a mans foot and divide his
height by the length of his foot, you will find
the same rule holds-namely, the foot is
about one-Seventh of the height in men and in
women, only men wear coarse, clumsy SHOES,
that oblige them to be loose and large, while
women, as a rule, wear shoes of dainty, soft
material that permit the shoe to be smaller

make a woman out to be about ten feet tall
with feet three times smaller than the feet are

anything, so correctly in this
Nineteenth century that one has to admire
them; but when they come to draw a woman
they make the drawing untrue. Can it be

Summers Financial Circumstances,

Mr. Sumner always lived within his in
come and never incurred debt that he bad
not the means of paying at the time it be-
came due Within his income he was first
just, then generous. During his first term in
the Senate, he was dependent upon his pay
as senator and little copyright money for
his support, although during a portion of
that time he added somewhat TO his income
by lectures. In his latter days, however, he
was rendered somewhat easier in circum-
stances by small fortune that came to him
by the successive death of several relatives,
For much of his life he was a poor man in
Strengthened circumstances, but he would
never be obliged to any one for anything but
kindness. He would not allow another to pay
any expense that Inc incurred, not even q
horse car fare. While making speeches dur
ing the presidential elections he would never
allow the congressman in whose district he
spoke, and who was to be most benefited by
bis efforts, to pay even his railroad fare.
He was no gift taker; he would interchange
gifts as we'll as kind Offices with others, but
the balance of the obligation always remained
on his side. His generosity to the servants Of
the houses in which he lived was proverbial.
Sam " ard said that he lived like a pauper,
but gave like King No one can wonder
that tho servants even temporarily in his
employ were attached to him, when his con-
sideration for, as well as his generosity to,
them is fully understood. But withal be kept
within lis income; barely, it may be, but
still within. He was scrupulously conscien-
tious, and never took doubtful dollar

Two Important Measures.

1t is generally conceded now that q
bill providing for the establishment OF
a postal telegraph system will be INTRO
duced early in the present session of
congress and will be puched through to
fual passage. While people differ
widely upon the wisdom of the govern
ment enlarging its scope by establish
ing and operating Geographic and
transportation lines, all will at least
concede the necessity Of some kind o.
governmental restriction or control over
the telegraph business of the country,
which has developed into such a giani
monopoly that the most glazing dis.
examinations are now going on, while
people are compelled TO pay three or
four times as much for the service
as they should reasonably be charged.
1t is time therefore that congress afford
some relief from these exhorbitant
charges, either by regulating the rates
or by establishing and operating line
of It's own. The latter course is gener
ally regarded with more favor than ttt
former and Senator Cullom and others
have expressed themselves as being
ready to take up and support suit
able measure looking to this end. The
interstate commerce bill, passed at the
last session, will also come up for
further consideration and an effort will
no doubt be made to have it repealed.
With all its defects, however. congress
will hardly take backward step Oh {.
great measure like this by repeating it.
Amendments will no doubt be suggest
ed which will operate both for and
against the interests of the masses OF
the people, bnt the friends of the bill
will be On hand to see that it is no!
impaired in any way by being amended
in the interest Of the company. Ii
addition to the provision that mort
shall not be charged for short than

for the long haul to a reasonable SUN

Rudeness of the Travelling Public.

turned upon tho selfish rudeness Of a portion
of tine travelling public. One Of the persons
It the table related this incident: Some
months ego the passengers on a night train
N branch railroad we're kept awake by the
oud and incessant conversation INDUCED in
~ two men sitting at one end Of the car.
there were no sleeping cars attached to the
rain, and one of the men in the course of
their wearisome babble remarked: at seems
to mo that a road which doesn't furnish
sleepers ought Mt least to fit up their cars
With head rests, such as you find on some of
ne eastern roads" Whereupon a voice at
The other end Of the car replied: 'Head rests
wouldn't help much in this car so long az
chose two men down at the other end keep on
talking" The passengers roared with de-
light, and one of the two offenders bristled UP
and declared he'd talk just as much as he
pleased, but pretty soon quiet reigned The
passenger who so neatly administered the
needed reproof was Edward Everett Hale

Thurman on the Surplus.

From Judge Thurman's great speech
which is full of thought for all men to
read and study at this time, we extract
his brief but comprehensive mention OF
the "surplus" question. Referring to
it and the prominence that it now has
in political discussion, he said:
"If 1 were not so tired would like
to say something about the surplus
revenue. Do You know they are piling
up at the rate of 500, OOO, 0Oe year in
the treasury of the United States
money that is collected for which the
government has no use? Why, if the
thing amt stopped, after while nearly
all the money will be in the treasury Of
the United States under lock and key,
and don't know but you would have
to go back to trading coon skins in
order to get your daily bread. Laugh
teri
why, it is monstrous; it is simply
monstrous. I have said that everybody
is bound to contribute to the support of
the government, but it is monstrous to
tax him 500, 000, 600 year in order to
get money and lay it up in the treasury
which the government doesn't need at
all, which the government can't make
any honest use sand there never
was anything "a t6s world more Co.,
